Two of Africa’s greatest wildlife experiences in one week: big cats in the Masai Mara and mountain gorillas in Rwanda.
Overview
A Kenya and Rwanda safari combines the open plains of the Masai Mara with the misty volcanoes of Rwanda. You spend three nights on game drives in the Mara, then fly to Kigali for a gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park, one of the most moving wildlife encounters on earth.
The gorilla permit is included in the price. The flight from Nairobi to Kigali takes about 1.5 hours, so the whole trip fits into eight days without rushing.
Best for: Bucket list / couples. Popular with: Bucket-list travellers from the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Best time: June–October and December–February.
Price is from USD 4,900 per adult sharing; the final cost depends on season, accommodation and group size.
